Sony‘s most well-known video game IPs have been successfully adapted by PlayStation Productions into motion pictures and television programs. And it appears that the business has more in store for devoted followers.
Will we be seeing Sir Daniel Fortesque on the big screen soon?
Fans have discovered signs in the latest PlayStation Productions teaser that point to the studio’s efforts to turn the well-liked action-adventure game MediEvil into a film or television series. There is a section on the PlayStation website devoted to PlayStation Productions. Fans can see a brief film in this section that introduces the production firm and features some of its previous and ongoing work.
In the brief trailer, popular Sony characters including Kratos from God of War, Aloy from Horizon, Joel and Ellie from The Last of Us, and Nathan Drake from Uncharted are scanned by a blue light. While some of these characters have been confirmed to be in development, the majority have already appeared in PlayStation Productions’ works.
A fleeting glimpse of a pair of legs in the trailer was seen by keen viewers, who immediately recognized them as Sir Daniel Fortesque’s. The first person to report the sighting on Twitter was Radec, who surmised that PlayStation Productions might be working on a MediEvil project.
So I was checking out the new video on the PlayStation Productions Website and my god…are those the legs of Sir Daniel Fortesque?
Could possibly be our first sign that a MediEvil movie is in the works at PlayStation Productions!

The main character of the games in the MediEvil series is Sir Daniel Fortesque. The first PlayStation 1 game in the franchise was launched in 1998, while the most recent game in the franchise was released in 2019. Additionally, Sir Daniel Fortesque made an appearance in the SuperBot Entertainment 2012 crossover combat title PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale. It’s interesting to note that Nathan Drake and Kratos both made appearances in the fighting game, which is encouraging for the MediEvil adaption.

Sir Daniel Fortesque’s appearance in the teaser trailer isn’t absolute assurance that MediEvil will soon be adapted for the big screen or television. However, all indications point toward a film or television production because the teaser’s main characters have all been adapted for either the big or small screen. The most likely scenario is an animated TV show, although a cinematic adaptation isn’t completely out of the question.
Deacon St. John from Days Gone is also visible in the video in addition to Sir Daniel Fortesque. However, St. John’s personality is a little more elusive to identify than the MediEvil protagonist. One of the final views, which includes a number of characters, shows the character model tucked away in a corner.
Since August 2022, there have been rumors that Bend Studios’ post-apocalyptic horror survival game is being turned into a movie.According to a report from Deadline, Sam Heughan of Outlander is being considered for the role of Deacon St. John in the movie adaptation, which will be made in partnership with Vendetta Productions. The screenplay for the movie adaption is apparently being written by Oscar-nominated author Sheldon Turner.
Given that the Writers’ and Actors’ strikes are still going on, it will probably be some time before we learn anything official about the impending video game adaptations. According to insiders, studios intend to return to the negotiation table by October.
